Print your public IP address from Linux, macOS, FreeBSD or Unix/Windows shell:
curl https://checkip.amazonaws.com

Try dig
dig -4 TXT +short o-o.myaddr.l.google.com @ns1.google.com
dig -6 TXT +short o-o.myaddr.l.google.com @ns1.google.com

@selea @nixCraft Depends on the distro... I find curl more likely to be part of a base install than dig. But yeah, neither is there by default on every distro.
